Evan,
Pardon my jumping in, but I had this same problem on my network. Problem was definitely in Novell Client. Problem would vary depending on which client version we used. Problem goes away if MS client is used.

Problem went away with arrival of SP1 for VFP7. The odd thing is that the computers that didn't have the bug, now do. I found very few people with the bug and no real answer. I do believe your bug is specifically mentioned in the fox programmer's newsgroup.
HTH,
Pete
